No Subscription? No Problem! Try “Get It Now”

The Spencer S. Eccles Library is experimenting with an exciting new method for delivering articles from selected unsubscribed journals. Using Copyright Clearance Center‘s Get It Now service, patrons can have full-text, high-quality, color PDFs of articles sent directly to them via email. Average turnaround time for Get It Now articles is less than five minutes.

During our initial trial phase, you can use Get It Now to obtain rapid access to articles from the following journals:

Throughout the pilot program all fees associated with Get It Now, including article costs and copyright fees, will be paid by the Library; there is no cost to the patron to use this service.

To request delivery of an article via Get It Now, use the CitationLinker tab on the Library’s eJournals page. Enter the citation information of the article you want to order. (Hint: For easiest access, use the article’s PMID [PubMed ID] if you have it). After submitting the citation information, click on the Get It Now service link. Next, enter your University ID and the email address where the article will be delivered. A confirmation email confirms your order and a few minutes later you will receive an email with your article attached.

The Eccles Library is actively seeking creative and cost-effective solutions, such as Get It Now that provide access to unsubscribed journal content. Library staff encourages you to give the service a try and welcomes your feedback. Please contact Christy Jarvis at 801-581-3031 with questions or comments.
